Copper Roof Deli, Beacon

One of the things I like about my neighborhood in Beacon is that right around the corner from our house we have a old-fashioned, neighborhood deli. It was formerly occupied as Roby's Deli but after much renovation and expansion it is the Copper Roof Deli. We did not have time to get something to eat, but I got a few shots of the inside anyway. You can get something to eat, grab milk or a snack, and they have some sundries for sale as well.

If we ever get around to eating there I will post our impressions. For now, you can see their Facebook page where they advertise their daily specials and they are rapidly gathering fans:

Plenty of beverages and chips to choose from. Note the other stuff for sale high on the shelves to the left and right.

An ATM in the foreground in case you forget your cash. Candy at the counter. 

Seating and more drinks in the back. 


It's on the corner of Teller and West Center streets in Beacon. 





Occupy Hong Kong

My brother Tony sent this, and these pictures, from Hong Kong:

"Took these last week.  Apparently you can stage a protest but not congregate.  There wasn't one person inside the entire encampment which even had it's own library and kitchen."

Moonrise Over Mt. Beacon


Trainspotting & Such At Lunch

Trains always remind me of my cousin Bill and his father. They were avid collectors of all things model railroading.

A freight train travelling north along the Hudson near a vineyard in Highland, Ulster County.

The Metro North heads to GCT from Poughkeepsie on the Dutchess County side of the Hudson River.
